Play and Code Camp Overview
The Play and Code Camp is a dynamic, hands-on learning program designed for children aged 3 to 6 years. Organized by Starters Technology, this Saturday camp blends play with foundational coding concepts to develop early computational thinking skills in young learners.
Approach:
- Unplugged Activities
- Play-Based Learning: Engaging children in natural play activities that include coding-like tasks, such as following directions and sequencing.
- CodesRock curriculum
Storytelling & Songs: Concepts like directions (forward, backward, etc.) are taught through songs and stories, making coding fun and relatable.
Modules and Cost: GHS 960
- Module 1 : Spatial reasoning, logical reasoning, sequencing, planning and debugging
- Module 2 – Loops, Events and nested loops
- Module 3 – Conditionals, Loops and Functions
- Module 4 – Coding with Unplugged Games
Resources:
- Physical Tools: Blocks, puzzles, mats, and cards for hands-on interaction.
- Coding Robots: Age-appropriate robots or simple tools that allow children to act out coding commands in a physical space.
- Worksheets & Coloring Books: Help reinforce direction commands, sequencing, and logical thinking through fun activities.
